What is Radon?
What is Radon?
Radon, a radioactive gas resulting from uranium decay, is found in nearly all soils. Originating deep within the ground, it seeps through the soil and can get into homes through tiny cracks and holes in the foundation.
Why is Radon a Concern?
Research by the EPA indicates that radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Unfortunately, residential structures, including your home, are the main places where people might encounter harmful radon levels. This gas rises from the ground and gets trapped in houses and other buildings. Radon is completely undetectable to the human senses, making it impossible to know whether you are being exposed to its harmful effects.
One factor contributing to the risk of radon in homes is the geographical location. Idaho ranks as the eighth-highest state in terms of radon concentration. According to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, two out of five homes tested in Idaho show unsafe levels of radon.
What Can You Do?
Take proactive measures to protect your health by ensuring your home is free from elevated radon levels. With the help of modern technology, we can conduct inconspicuous radon tests that accurately assess the radon levels in your home. Based on the results, we can either confirm your home's safety or recommend necessary procedures to reduce radon levels to a safe range.
